Loeb for F1?

Sebastien Loeb has said that he'd seriously consider an offer to switch to Formula 1 in 2010.

'The team bosses think I am too old, but mentally I am not: age would not be an obstacle for me' Loeb (who is 34) said to a French newspaper. 'With a testing programme in 2009, I would go to the formula one grid in 2010.'

You can see Sebastien Loeb take our Henry for a spin in his Red Bull Citroen C4, or read about some of Catchpole's own rallying fun.
